Just throw $20 in your account every few months and you should be good. > But, the current plan is to charge the businesses that want to receive calls from their international customers for tracking and control. Mmm, you could totes do this, make sure to use Opus and pitch it as Full HD Audio (better than that tin can HD that carriers are pushing now). Grandstream supports Opus straight to their deskphones by the way, so you may wanna look at them. Their middling quality, but rock bottom price wise. > branded links that auto-dial their number ... track the source of the caller How do you plan to get the caller's name? Also, travel businesses might be a viable model for this, I'd just encourage you to think outside the box, what other areas could use this kind of service? |
I'll look into those providers and see what I can set up. If I can get the costs down by an order of magnitude that would obviously be amazing.
As for tracking the source of the caller, I'm not talking about their name but how they came to the website to that then generated the call. Whether thats though organic search, PPC, advertising, some random forum post, etc. It's a lot easier to get exact referral information when the call is a web event rather than an actual phone call.
